Nagpur:Lawyer Satish Uke has been booked in another case of fraud following a complaint at Sadar Police Station on Saturday from the office of the Nagpur District Collector. The case pertains to a plot at Babulkheda allotted to Kaushalyabai Dhawale in 2000.
It’s learnt that the land was marked under the Urban Ceiling Act and was under the district administration’s concerned department. Uke ensured Dhawale got the land after it was being sanctioned from the Collector office. One of the key documents was forged by Uke using a fake signature of the then Additional Collector. Uke is in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate.

Earlier in January, Ajni police had registered a case against 7 people including controversial lawyer Satish Uke and his family members for grabbing the land of Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) fraudulently. The case was registered on the complaint of Divisional Officer of NIT, Pankaj Ramesh Patil (45), local media reports said.
According to reports, NIT’s Divisional Officer (South) Pankaj Patil informed the Ajni police about fraud. Shrirang Housing Cooperative Society President Subhash Manilal Baghel, Chandrasekhar Namdevrao Mate, lawyer Satish Mahadevrao Uke, Pradeep Mahadevrao Uke, Madhavi Pradeep Uke, Shekhar Mahadevrao Uke and Manoj Mahadevrao Uke had allegedly forged documents of the land originally owned by Vitthal Dhawale and later declared excess by the government. Uke and others allegedly sold the plots.
Notably, even before this case, many cases of land grabbing have been registered against Uke brothers. The Enforcement Directorate had also arrested the brothers some time back for illegal dealings related to land. Uke is currently in jail for other cases.
12 cases registered so far:
Nagpur police have so far registered 12 cases against Satish Uke and his brothers. In the last 18 months, four cases have been registered against Uke. A case has already been registered against his brothers for grabbing the land of Aishwarya Society adjacent to NIT’s land.
